Thanks, I didn't even think of them catching fleas!! Those are all good tips!

Hello, I am planning a move across the united states with my 2 cats. I got them a large (whole back seat of my car) soft crate and the vet prescribed acepromazine. The trip will involve 2 nights in hotels. And I will bring their litter box with used but not soiled litter, because I heard that...

Got results back! It took a while because of the holidays. The pathology report said it is panniculitis, and there was no cancer, which is a relief. I wasn't given a cause but because of the location and timing, vaccination is most likely. The vet hasn't really told me more. I think a reduced...

Still waiting on the pathology report. I called today and they said it could take up to 2 weeks... But he is getting better every day, and handling the cone better than I thought. It took 3 days until I could have him walk free in a room with his brother, and 6 until they were cuddling and...

Surgery was done, I will have biopsy results in a few days. He will have his staples removed in 2 weeks. Archie is surprisingly active and lively, a little anxious but he has an appetite and going to the bathroom. His brother didn't recognize him when we got back and they are now separated to...

Thanks! I think it was caught early enough, and hopefully this surgery will be the end of it. From here on out he will only get rabies vaccinations every 3 years, so hopefully reducing the vaccination schedule will prevent this from happening again.

Hello, My cat is scheduled to have a lump of inflamatory cells, cause by a vaccine, removed in a few days. Fine needle aspiration and cytology don't show any cancer cells, just inflamatory cells. I can't seem to find any information about similar situations where cancer isn't present but...

I know at the rescue they were bathed with dawn, that was almost 2 months ago. I got a special kitten shampoo that supposedly is all natural.

Yeah, everyone always comment about how soft he is. I guess it’s just that type of fur, good to know there are others like him and that it isn’t something I’m missing or feeding him wrong.

Thank you! It doesn’t look like there is any residue, it’s exactly like when you don’t wash your hair and it gets shiny and clumps up a bit.

The kitten in the back of the first picture has the oily fur. The other pictures are just him. It doesn’t look bad in the pictures. Both kittens are 4 months old.

Hello, I’m pretty new to taking care of kittens and recently adopted 2 so I am not familiar with what to do with this issue. Both of my kittens were orphaned at a young age and now stay strictly indoors, both are domestic short hairs. One of the kittens has very soft fine fur that sometimes...

My two kittens aren’t picky but they do love Holistic select chicken pate more than all the other brands I have tried. It’s decently priced if you get the big cans.
